Description
A first edition of Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier.
- Daphne Du Maurier (English).
- London: Gollancz, 1936.
- In the scarce dust wrapper.
A gothic novel set on the bleak Cornish moors. It follows Mary Yellan, a young woman who uncovers dark secrets about her aunt’s inn, which is a hub for smugglers and wreckers. The novel explores themes of isolation, moral ambiguity, and female resilience. Its suspenseful atmosphere and vivid setting made it a literary success and cemented du Maurier’s reputation. The book inspired multiple adaptations, including a film by Alfred Hitchcock. Jamaica Inn had a lasting impact on gothic fiction, influencing both popular and critical views of suspenseful, female-led narratives.
